Lokpal member Justice AK Tripathi (retired) has died due to coronavirus infection, sources said. He was 62. He had been admitted to AIIMS in Delhi on April 2.

His daughter and cook who were infected with the highly contagious COVID-19 have recovered, sources said.

Justice Tripathi, a former Chief Justice of the Chhattisgarh High Court, had been in the intensive care unit (ICU) of the trauma care centre at AIIMS. He was also put on a ventilator after his condition turned critical.

The AIIMS trauma care centre that mostly treated road accident victims was recently converted into a dedicated COVID-19 hospital.
